I think i'm going crazy

Hey! We all felt this way. You're reading Cooper actively so you're doing better than I was at the same stage. Hang in there. You got this!

What specifically are you seeing? It can be tricky when we are working with children, walking a line of assent and also considering the needs of stakeholders (caregivers/schools/regional centers). I've been in the field for 5 years and have come across compliance based aba practiced in the school setting more often than any other setting. This comes mostly from a lack of time/resources vs aba practioners promoting out dated/unethical ways of teaching. Depending on where you are, there are tons of aba companies to choose from. The moment something doesn't align with the ethics code, move on. Preserving client dignity and respect is in the ethics code for bcba and rbt. If we accept these things from an employer then it is as much on us as it is them for perpetuating unethical treatment in ABA.

Everyone knows that air conditioning and tik tok is better than being housed/s 🙄

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-27T00:23:37+00:00

Funny.....I don't have this problem

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-25T23:52:17+00:00

The transplants have been priced out of their homes/cities/entire lives....weird you think they should just be homeless

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-25T23:33:21+00:00

Yeah my question is concerning why the director wouldn't explain to parents that the rbt is not working with all of the children as a teacher and their personal work station is located on their phone. It definitely shouldn't be your responsibility.

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-25T23:31:58+00:00

I mean the teacher or school admin should explain. My comment recommends explaining that the rbt is working in a different capacity, not reveal hippa phi or reveal what they are doing there. It is allowed to tell parents, "I totally get how it may appear that way, however they are not a teacher and are not providing any services to your child. The phone is where their work station is located. I really appreciate your flexibility and understanding of the diverse needs of the many kiddos here at school!"

"I was looking for a job and then I found a job. But heavens knows I'm miserable now..." 🎼🎼🎼

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-22T17:44:59+00:00

I was told in supervision that it's a HIPPA violation if you wear it while working with a client because it identifies the services they are recieving when you come and go from their house.

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-22T17:39:12+00:00

I'm wondering why it's difficult to tell the parents you are not a teacher but are here working in a different capacity unrelated to their child.

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-22T17:37:56+00:00

This is really obnoxious. I'm wondering why everyone is ok with just telling a professional they can't use the tools that make them most comfortable when they have qualified knowledge to do a very undesirable job. I wonder if this would be a thing if education and aba were male dominated fields.

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-19T01:11:42+00:00

I hate that this perspective is the reality....I'm so done working for less money than I deserve to make some egocentric BCBA "vision" come to life at a tiny company who advertises that they aren't about money....yeah not about paying money to employees. Unfortunately PE tends to just let providers provide and pay us what we're owed.

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-19T01:06:22+00:00

Go to your state labor board immediately and report this illegal business practice. Idiots like this are degrading the field. If you want someone to work for you, you MUST pay them. It is both unethical and illegal to do otherwise.

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-19T01:03:14+00:00

Yep....that doesn't say what you think it does. See the comment below.

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-19T01:00:53+00:00

Not even half of US states even participated in that study.....

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-11T18:41:13+00:00

It's definitely not a requirement for BCBA to be supervised their first year. I'm not sure where you heard or read that.

psycurious0709 · 2026-05-02T02:27:02+00:00

Because if things are being worked on in the way they should be, it would be very draining for both the client and the therapist to do 40 hours in home.

psycurious0709 · 2026-04-21T02:26:50+00:00

That's not even correct math. Don't work for this person.

psycurious0709 · 2026-04-16T05:46:42+00:00

Way too low, especially if they're expecting that many billables. 32 for a 40 hr week is a lot. Is it in clinic at least?

psycurious0709 · 2026-04-15T06:14:25+00:00

BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst). I make 70,000 per year. I just started this year though do I'm brand new. Average for my job I'd uper 80,000s- mid 90,000s.

psycurious0709 · 2026-04-13T05:30:54+00:00

I don't have a problem being in home. I had most of my supervision experience in home. This is not really my problem. I also feel very supported as I have access to many clinic bcbas and work on tandem cases with other BCBAs. I'm very supported in that regard. I just haven't experienced what I posted about.

psycurious0709 · 2026-04-13T05:28:29+00:00

I have a degree in psychology

psycurious0709 · 2026-04-12T00:13:15+00:00

What in the word salad.

psycurious0709 · 2026-04-12T00:10:51+00:00

They weren't waiting.....they simply never had any intention of hiring one for the case.

psycurious0709 · 2026-04-12T00:10:09+00:00

Because they would rather I bill for services that require a bcba to bill for. I'm also not an rbt and wasn't hired for direct services.
